Cheers guys, any feedback (positive or negative)is always good!!...long way still to go but the difference between this and my first attempts is massive!! Want to keep this for myself but someone has been waiting for it so think he may snap it up.

I'll try get some more pics but I can't promise any that rival mad_abt_cricket's pics ;)

Mate, that looks amazing! The profile looks almost spot on. What stickers did you use on this bat?

Cheers bud....still a few little nicks on it that show my inexperience but its coming along....it's 2lbs 12oz fully dressed but picks up as a 2lb 10oz I think....

I used my own stickers mate, Iconic ones very plain and simple to show off the willow....

Keep up the work. Practice makes perfect as they say. overall the profile is coming a long nicely. All I can say is the edges look a little uneven but sanding will sort that no problem. :) Not easy bat making I know

Yeah the edges are where I've taking little notches out in error....got to fine tune a fair few bits and pieces and finishing to a higher standard is one I think
